It scorches the ground a single spark then starts a raging wave
The dancing flames, of red and yellow, no one can be saved
The heat, the light, the colours change to draw the eye and mind
A maze created, by your fear, an exit you will never find
The chaos and the fright combined create a panicked state
So much resting on one move, a single step can change your fate
The smoke, the ash, the smell of fear is just too much to bear
The dust, the dark, the blazing heat, the desperate need for air
There's nothing you can do or say there's no one even near
You just lie still and hug yourself, surrounded by your fear
Your vision blurs, the colours gone, the silence closes in
The chances to escape are gone, saviours have already been
There's nothing for you now, but death, and it is on its way
No one ever escapes the maze, no matter what they say
The flames consume you; they light the dark, swallowing you in a single bite
What's left of you they'll never find, but no one will forget that night
Fire is the single thing that no one can control
Consuming every living thing, all users pay the toll
A slip, a spark, a flame unwatched can start it all again
This time it will be someone new who just may meet their end
